A hacker's claim that no messaging app — not Signal, WhatsApp, or iMessage — is truly private, framed as bad news for anyone who thinks their chats are safe.

• A hacker interviewed by Tucker Carlson says no messaging app is actually secure.
• Signal is called the worst, because it is so widely used that the US government has built a way in.
• Even people with real secrets who trust Signal are, by this account, being read and heard.
• The only safe option offered is to not use any messaging tool at all.

Outlook: Expect fresh debate over whether encrypted apps really protect users, though the claims here are asserted without proof.
